경계선 성격 성향과 부정 긴급성이 반응적 공격성에 미치는 영향 :주의편향의 조절된 매개효과

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the moderated mediating effect of attentional bias via negative urgency on the relationship between borderline personality trait and reactive aggression. A total of 126 Korean university students completed the following questionnaires and a dot probe task to measure attentional bias towards threatening faces: Personality Assessment Inventory-Borderline Features Scale (PAI-BOR), Reactive-Proactive Aggression Questionnaire (RPQ), and Korean UPPS-P Impulsive Behavior Scale. The main findings were as follows: First, the results of bootstrapping indicated that negative urgency mediated the relationship between borderline personality trait and reactive aggression. Second, the moderation effect of attentional bias on the relationship between negative urgency and reactive aggression was discovered using a hierarchical regression and slope analyses. Finally, attentional bias also moderated the mediating effect of borderline personality trait on reactive aggression through negative urgency. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for future research are also discussed.
